1. Sensation is the mechanical process by which our sensory receptors respond to stimulation from the environment. Perception is an active process that involves organizing sensations based on experience, expectations, and motivations.
2. The senses of vision, hearing, touch, taste and smell all involve transduction, where stimuli are converted to neural signals. However, the specific transduction processes differ between senses.
3. The relationship between sensation and perception is that sensation provides the raw sensory input and perception involves higher-level cognitive processing to interpret these sensations and give them meaning.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Sensation & Perception
• How Does Stimulation Become Sensation?
• How Are the Senses Alike? How Are They
Different?
• What Is the Relationship between Sensation
and Perception?
3. How Does Stimulation Become
Sensation?
• Transduction: Changing Stimulation to
Sensation
• Thresholds: The Boundaries of Sensation
Signal Detection Theory
4. Transduction
• Transforming signals into neural impulses.
• Information goes from the senses to the thalamus , then
to the various areas in the brain.
6. Cocktail-party phenomenon
• The cocktail party effect
describes the ability to focus
one's listening attention on a
single talker among a mixture of
conversations and background
noises, ignoring other
conversations.
• Form of selective attention.
7. How Are the Senses Alike? How Are
They Different?
• Vision: How the Nervous System Processes Light
• Hearing: If a Tree Falls in the Forest . . . How the
Other Senses Are Like Vision and
• Hearing
Synesthesia: Sensations across the Senses
Energy Senses Chemical Senses
10. Step One: Gathering Light
The Eye
Light enters through
a narrow opening
Cornea – transparent eye
cover
Iris – muscle; colored
part of the eye
Pupil – opening in the iris
• Sensitive to light and
emotion
13. Step Four: In the Brain
• Feature
detectors-
– Hubel and Wiesel
– groups of
neurons in the
visual cortex
respond to
different types of
visual images.
15. Theories of
color vision:
Explain our
ability to
distinguish
between colors
Trichromatic
theory
•Young-Helmholtz:
three types of
receptors (cones)
all others
variations
Opponent-
process theory
•Hering: three
types of bipolar
receptors
•Supported by
negative
afterimages
Thought to
work together:
•Thricomatic:
Cones
•Opponent-
Process:
Thalamus
Color Vision
16. Trichromatic Theory
Three types of cones:
• Red
• Blue
• Green
• These three types of
cones can make millions
of combinations of
colors.
• Does not explain
afterimages or color
blindness well.
17.
18. Opponent-Process theory
The sensory receptors
come in pairs.
• Red/Green
• Yellow/Blue
• Black/White
• If one color is
stimulated, the
other is inhibited.
23. Principles of Visual Perception
• Process used to organize sensory impressions
caused by the light that strikes our eyes
• Sensation is a mechanical process
• Perception is an active process
– Involves experience, expectations and
motivations
25. 1. Visual Perception
• Process used to organize sensory impressions
caused by the light that strikes our eyes
• Sensation is a mechanical process
• Perception is an active process
– Involves experience, expectations and
motivations
26. 1. Visual Perception
• Process used to organize sensory impressions
caused by the light that strikes our eyes
• Sensation is a mechanical process
• Perception is an active process
– Involves experience, expectations and
motivations
28. Perception of Motion
• Visual perception of motion is based on change
of position relative to other objects
• Illusions of movement
– Stroboscopic motion (class discussion, how
do we know that a train moves?)
• Induced Motion:

37. Pitch Theories
• Different hairs vibrate
in the cochlea when
they different pitches.
• So some hairs vibrate
when they hear high
and other vibrate
when they hear low
pitches.
Place Theory
• The height of the
wave gives us the
amplitude of the
sound.
• The frequency of the
wave gives us the
pitch if the sound.
Frequency Theory
38. Deafness
• Conduction Deafness
– Something goes wrong with the sound and the vibration on the way
to the cochlea.
• Nerve (sensorineural) Deafness
40. • Gate control theory: sensations are mediated
by neural gates in the spinal cord that lalow
them to continue to brain
Pain
41. Taste
• We have bumps on our
tongue called papillae.
• Taste buds are located
on the papillae (they
are actually all over the
mouth).
• Sweet, salty, sour and
bitter.
44. Vestibular Sense
• Tells us where our body
is oriented in space.
• Our sense of balance.
• Located in our
semicircular canals in
our ears.
45. Kinesthetic Sense
• Tells us where our body
parts are.
• Receptors located in our
muscles and joints.
46. What Is the Relationship between
Sensation and Perception?
• Perceptual Processing: Finding Meaning in
Sensation
• Perceptual Ambiguity and Distortion
Theoretical Explanations for Perception Seeing
and Believing
48. Thresholds
Absolute threshold:
• The absolute threshold is
the smallest amount of
stimulus we can detect.
Difference threshold:
• How much does a
stimulus need to change
before we notice the
difference?
